yeah i wouldn't take away any safety features for the car that could compensate someone's safety or your own.

not to mention the front bumper cover will flex unless you build a new bumper support. and i suggest leaving the rear in because removing it has pretty much been proven to make the rear bumper cover act like a parachute

Just received the delete kit. I have not installed it yet. Quality is good but could be improved on. Kit is heavy, not as heavy as rear seat assmebly. Made from 3/4 MDF so it is a heavy duty kit. I think I am going to use these as templates to make lighter weight ones. I have a call into a carbon fiber supplier to see what he can do. I will keep you all posted. If they turn out good I will offer them to the membership here. Here are some pics of the kit.

I have a "carpeted refrigerator" as a rear seat delete.
Not for weight savings... did it so I don't have to give people rides, and for a place to hide my nitrous bottle.

bumper supports together are around 42lbs. theyre only good for 5mph accidents anyway. id leave the doorbars in until u get a rollbar/cage in there. the noses of 98-02 trans ams will not flex in unless youre traveling at 150+ mph. camaros might be a lil different tho. the answer to the rear bumper "parachute problem" is to screw a piece of sheetmetal to your heatshield and bolt it to your bumper cover. stiffened it right up. and if youre reallly worried about drag, cut a hole out behind the license plate and use some kind of fastening device to allow your license plate to flap open u go over 100mph

guy said only 40lbs. i did sit on them though, they hold pretty good. they only bolt in two spots per delete though. where the backrest bolts and where the bottom cushion bolts. they don't rest on the floor either so i really wouldn't recommend riding on them, but i rest on them when effing around in the car.
